Description

Vertical Drop Heroes is a procedural platformer RPG hybrid with roguelike elements, where your hero adventures through randomly generated stages. Armed with a variety of skills and traits, you must use your cunning and reflexes to survive the dangers of each stage, until you face the final boss and uncover the truth behind the game!

Key Features:

Randomly generated stages, enemies and bosses, resulting in a very replayable game

Artwork, coding and animation done by one person (me) in that unique Nerdook style

Split screen, local co-op, as well as network coop!

Destructible terrain and multiple uses for each skill gives you plenty of options to approach the different situations generated

Tons of skills, abilities, traits and powers that you can unlock in the game, creating a different hero each time

Unique combat system where proper planning is more important than quick reflexes

Persistent upgrades allow you to carry forward progress between games, with a choice between increasingly expensive persistent upgrades or generally cheaper temporary upgrades

Every enemy and boss has been designed to provide challenge and variety

Fun, roguelike game for the flash-nostalgic gamer.

I remember playing this as a flash game online. This paid version is very reminiscent of the other version, which is really its only downside, as it seems like $6.99 is a bit of a price tag for some upgrades. That being said, the upgrades and quality have been increased significantly, giving the game a smoother, arcade-esque feel.

Lets play it

HD version of the game that was released in 2010 if I correct. Graphics is good, nicely designed characters ( heroes, monsters, bosses) and weapons. Gameplay is very easy and the moment you start the game you know what to do. You start at the top and you go/fall to the bottom to defeat the boss, along the way you fight the enemies, collect gold/keys etc.
You can play it over splitscreen (but i'm not satisfied the way it's done) with your friend (on controller/keyboard). The game is fun, especially if you play it with someone else.
